Black Jesus is searched for online thousands of times per day. Is Jesus Black if you apply the 1% drop of Black blood rule? Why does Jesus continue to be portrayed as white, blond and blue eyed, when there is scientific, biblical and geographic proof that he was a man, Bible - Revelation 1:14 says, the color of brass with woolly hair? Why do so many people refuse to acknowledge this truth? What does this cover up have to do with the problems of race and skin color throughout the world and especially in America, UK, South Africa, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, India, Asia, Nigeria and Cuba? Let us talk honestly. We can all debate the various shades of color that Jesus could have been. But despite the white image of Jesus that's been falsely promoted globally for centuries, Jesus, also know as Yeshua, was not white. "Black Jesus" is searched for over 950,000 times a month, so clearly others are seeking the truth. Help spread this conversation world wide, by following BlackJesuscom on Twitter. If you seek and are not afraid of the truth, lets also share info affecting people of African decent globally, on a daily basis. Since human life began in Africa, then all of humanity is of African decent. We welcome intelligent observations and opinions from all races. The internet is the modern day drum, that can send out unfiltered messages globally, but you must be willing and ready to hear.

Remember, God/Yahweh/Allah is always watching and God's Heaven is not segregated based on skin color and income. Acknowledging This Truth Will Set Us Free!

Over 1 million Black Males In Prison or Paroled In the US and Growing.....

What Happens When A Black Man

And A White Man Try To Break Into The

Same Car

You Must Listen To This To Understand What's Really Happening To Young Black Men In America!!!

In light of the debate on “Stop and Frisk” there is a direct connection between these gestapo tactics ensuring there is a steady pipeline of Black men flowing into America’s prison industrial complex.

For smoother viewing, hit start, then hit stop, waiting 10 minutes for the video to load onto your hard drive. You should then be able to watch without the video starting and stopping.

Professor Michelle Alexander discusses the systematic incarceration of African American males and how it authorizes discrimination after their release.

Have you ever thought about the long term implications of what it means for a race of people to have over 1 million of their males locked away during their most productive years? At this time lets not address whether they belong locked up or not. Let's just concentrate on the numbers and what they could mean to the future of Black people in America.

For smoother viewing, hit start, then hit stop, waiting 10 minutes for the video to load onto your hard drive. You should then be able to watch without the video starting and stopping.

Based on the rate of incarceration, 32% of Black males will enter the state or federal prison system during their life time. And we wonder why are there so many Black single mother households. Some will tell you that Black people, especially Black males, are more prone to crime. Some how it must be in our genes. But they will never tell you that the prison industry is a $41 billion a year market, that creates jobs and business for construction , food , furniture, uniform and personal care product companies who are primarily white and who hire very few Black employees.

More Black People US Prisons Today Than At The Height Of Apartheid In South Africa

They won't tell you that many white communities beg to have prison facilities built near by because of the amount of jobs and supply contacts they generate. But in order to keep all of this going, you must have a steady flow of customers....prison inmates. Corrections Corporation of America, one of the largest publicly traded prison operators in the country, generates over $3.5 billion a year. Nationally, an average of $60,000 a year in tax dollars is spent on incarcerating each inmate.

There are mothers and fathers who don't have sons, children who don't have fathers, Black women who won't have husbands, and young Black women who are increasingly finding it harder to find a mate, because so many, who might have potential, are locked up. Look at the hard numbers that tell the real story... http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/crimoff.htm ...and tell us what you think.

America's Prison System is a $60 Billion Dollar Business. The United States has 5 percent of the world's population and 25 percent of the world's incarcerated population. We rank first in the world in locking up our fellow citizens.

Is the white man to blame for so many brothers being in prison or have so many of us chosen the easy way out? Experience some times can be a hell of a teacher. But Are there really more Black men in Prision than in college?We must change how we think about ourselve first. What do you think?

The comments that there is a shortest of Black Male is not true, there are many in lock down. I am a mother of four young mens. One was murder without the police ever doing a fair investigation, these are black police caught up in the system themself, it is safe to say on the wrong side of the law themself.
That have left me with a mistrust issue concerning the authority in my town. We who are strong in the black culture need to rethink where we are V>S> to where we are going as a race of people.

I am not sure of the exact statistics for african americans in prison but i do know that the u.s. has over 2million people in prison.I am a member of CRITICAL RESISTANCE www.criticalresistance.org and crla@criticalresistance.org and WE ARE PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX ABOLITIONISTS!!! WE KNOW THAT SLAVERY EXISTS TODAY IN THE FORM OF PRISONS AND CANNOT BE REFORMED THEY MUST BE ABOLISHED.EMAIL US AND FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION AND HELP OUR STRUGGLE.

I totally agree that the prison industrial complex has become a major player/component of the US Economy. With the alarming number of black males either in prison or out of work,the status and future of the black male, and therefore that of the black family, is in crisis. If this problem existed in other cultures, there would be a grass roots national effort to address and eradicate the problem. Why do we not have think tanks created to analyze, assess, plan, recruit, and execute a plan with short term and long term measurable results? With the wealth and immediate cash generated in our churches every Sunday, why has not one denomination or group of ministerial alliances taken on this issue? Where is the NAACP? The Urban League? The National Black Caucus? Even the UNCF should have this issue on the radar, but instead of attacking this issue which directly affects the number of black males that could be attending a HBCs instead of wasting away in jail, their answer seems to be to recruit white, indian, and latinos to take those spots. What a sad commentary.

What's interesting here is that none of the candidates who claim to be the voice of all americans have raised this issue in the presidential campaign. I've not heard the issue raised at forums, debates,or even mentioned at all. What I have seen and heard are a handful of so-called "black leaders" who take advantage of every opportunity to profit from each and every racially charged incident that makes national news. These self proclaimed activists are regulars on all the TV talk shows, make all the pundit rounds, and their number one objective seems to be to keep the conversation going and stir up as much controversy as possible so that their next book deal is increased. If we as a community are going to turn this crisis around, then those that take to the airways must use that platform to keep the pressure on and the focus on political and social reform. If we keep doing what we've done, we're gonna keep getting what we've got.

Allen West and Herman Cain, two black men who decided not to blame everything on white people and became successful. One's a multimillionaire and the other is a retired Colonel(high rank) and Congressman. I'm white, and I'd vote for either of these very intelligent men for President based on MERIT and NOT the color of their skin, like most white apologists did with Barak Obama.

My closest friend is a black man from Baton Rouge and anyone who knows Baton Rouge knows how tough it is there, for ANYONE, not just blacks. He got a technical degree and a BA in Computer Science, and is making 6 figures now. He started in the ghetto and overcame of his own free will.

Stop blaming other people for your failures to succeed. These strong black men overcame because they didn't sit back and whine about the white man having everything and them having nothing. They are honorable AMERICANS who fought hard for what they wanted and DID FOR THEMSELVES.

Basically, they did what every other successful person in America has the opportunity to do if they want it bad enough, be they black, white, asian, or otherwise.

If you fail in America, it's because you wanted to fail. You can not blame anyone else.

Per usual when some people don’t want the facts
brought to light, they blame the victim or call reverse
racism.

Fact- Over 1 million Black males in prison.
$60 billion spent on incarceration annually
and no Black suppliers to be found.

Fact- The Black unemployment rate is 3
times as high as whites even for those
blacks that have a college education.

Fact- Black consumers spend over $45 billion
annually on groceries with less than a handful of
grocery products coming from Black owned companies.

Fact: Past by highway construction sites across
the country and you are hard press to find any
Black men working. White contractors have chosen
to employ hispanics instead because they know they can
pay them less. Yet Black contractors are seldom
awarded primary contracts.

Fact- Despite minorities now representing over
50% of the American population the media
(radio, tv, print) continues to exclude the opinions
and images of anything else other than Caucasians.

Fact- Most whites are afraid of the
changing demographics of this country,
fearing they might be treated as a racial
minority.Why else has gun sales risen
over 30% since Obama became president.

The Washington Smithsonian has an excellent
exhibit on race that I personally visited.
I suggest you educate yourself about
the facts and consequences of race and racism
in this country. Here is their website: http://www.understandingrace.org/

As for Allen West and Herman Cain, while I may
not agree with their politics, they prove that Black
men have always found a way to overcome the odds.

I too have a couple of white friends who admit
that being white in America means that you are
given the benefit of the doubt every day of your life.

this is eye-opening. white people like myself must be educated because we have no clue this is going on. this country is doomed if this injustice continues. slavery may have ended on paper, but the mindset continues to oppress: white racism and apathy and black self-loathing and ignorance across the board for most Americans. just depressing, really depressing.
